Chapter 1148: Part 2

Redvers Scovel revealed his intention for the meeting. Forcing the world to submit to him would raise his status in the federation. If he got Earth to submit, his dream to be part of the council was not that far. The federation would be greedy over a new world that just recently integrated into the system. That was the way for the federation to gain access to more dimensional towers. The higher rank dimensional tower gave a faction huge resources.

Zhang Mengyao had a perplexed look on her face, then she glanced at Marshal Alton, "I am not hearing it wrong, right?" She could not help but ask. This came out of nowhere with nothing made sense. Especially when they won against the Divine Church. What made the federation think that she would accept such a ridiculous thing?

Marshal Alton furrowed his brow, responding with a nod.

'Wait. They must expect us to refuse the proposal because we are winning, but they still set up the meeting. That means they must have something that makes them confident that we will accept the proposal. What is it?' Zhang Mengyao frowned, thinking about what the federation had on them. She felt like there was nothing the federation could use to threaten them to accept such a ridiculous proposal.

"I know this is a hard decision. You can take your time," Redvers Scovel smiled, showing his canine teeth.

'Did they capture Tang Shaoyang?' That was the only reason for her to submit to the federation. She opened the communication system and sent a message to Tang Shaoyang, making sure that he was fine.

[The message can't be sent because the receiver is in a different dimension.]

Zhang Mengyao panicked for a moment, but she immediately collected herself. It seemed the wolf beastmen noticed her panic in that brief moment. She calmed herself, checking the message history. The last communication was when he notified her that he would send a group of dwarves and asked her to receive them.

That was four days ago, and there has been no update since then. That got her for a moment as her heartbeat raced up. She was in a situation where she should not be panicking or else Redvers Scovel would take advantage. She frowned, trying to think of many possibilities.

'Come on, Mengyao! Be useful for once, and don't be a burden to him forever.' Zhang Mengyao then eased her frown and met with Redvers Scovel's gaze, "You should know the answer already. There's no reason for me or the empire to submit to the Federation of Allurion. The Tang Empire will not submit to anyone!"

Redvers Scovel grinned, "Are you sure? Can you bear the consequence of refusing me? You might lose the legacy your emperor leaves behind for you. If you refuse to be part of the federation, we will work together with the Divine Church to fight The Tang Empire."

Zhang Mengyao frowned for a moment, then she caught something from his words. His legacy helped the empire with the vengeance. Those two keywords made her realize something important. Along with the threat, she was more confident that the federation did not capture Tang Shaoyang. The federation assumed Tang Shaoyang was dead, meaning they did not know Tang Shaoyang was still alive. That was a very clear clue that the federation did not have Tang Shaoyang as their captive.

So, why did she fail to send the message? She should be able to send a message to him even if he was captured by the federation. But the system notified her that he was in a different dimension.

Zhang Mengyao was quick to understand the situation, opening the Tang Empire's member list. She tapped Tang Shaoyang's name, and it showed the general information, including the level. Of course, the general information was only opened to the high-ranking members, such as her who held the title of Supreme General.

'Level 4000, that means he is currently taking the trial. That's why I can't send a message,'

Everything was clear and deep inside she was relieved. She did not show those on her expression, maintaining her stoic mask. Then her lips broke into a smile, "This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. I finally understand why you did not let us join the alliance. You have had this plan for us since the start."

Zhang Mengyao stood up, her expression ice-cold, "If you think the Tang Empire is afraid of your threat, you have made a wrong judgment, Redvers Scovel! If you want a war, then we will bring it to you!"

Zhang Mengyao turned around, leaving the stunned Redvers Scovel. There was no negotiation, she did not even have the intention to end things nicely with the Federation of Allurion. There was nothing to talk about when the opposite party wanted a full reign of the empire.

Redvers Scovel watched the three figures leave the building, then he glanced at his assistant, "Did I hear it wrong?"

"No, Sir. She said she will bring the war on us," The secretary repeated the same sentence.

The wolf beastmen could not believe that a newbie faction like Earth dared to challenge the federation. They should be aware of the difference in strength, their gap was too big. The Tang Empire might be able to handle the Divine Church, but he believed the Tang Empire would crumble if he joined the fray. He thought the woman would be wise and submit.

"Tsk, that's why you don't choose women as a leader. They are emotional creatures, they make a decision based on their emotion," Redvers Scovel shook his head, "What should we do now, Karmen?"

"We should recall all our people back to the city, Sir. We need to prepare for the potential battle against the Tang Empire. We come unprepared, expecting the Tang Empire will submit. We will be losing too many people if we don't recall our people on the outside." Mister Secretary gave an unexpected answer.

That shocked Redvers Scovel as he immediately stared at his secretary. From his expression, he was clearly asking for an explanation of why his secretary thought highly of the Tang Empire. If not for the fact that his secretary had been working for him for over a decade, he would fire him on the spot.
